Scope and content
In August of 1947, noted Tacoma restaurateur and sportsman Anton Barcott was photographed outside the Washington Hardware Company at 922-24 Pacific Avenue hefting a large salmon over his shoulder on a hook. The fish was almost as long as he was tall. This photograph was taken the year after Anton took over the management of the California Oyster House from his father John Barcott, Sr. He eventually closed the Oyster House and opened his own restaurant, Harbor Lights, on the Tacoma waterfront.
